The staff was helpful and professional. The location was convenient as the hostel is a 10 min walk from the 16th ST Mall Free Shuttle. There's a solid breakfast joint in the nearby Capitol Hill neighborhood named Jelly. Housekeeping does a good job of keeping the hostel clean.

Very misleading and very unfriendly staff. I would never recommend anyone ever stay here.

I came down me day to find the owner shouting at a client in the lobby. A very unpleasant experience. In addition, on the Friday and Saturday nights there were fights in the road outside the bar/ restaurant across the road. While I felt safe inside the hostel, I didn't always feel safe going outta night.

Fine to stay a couple of nights. Location is good as the cleanliness but the rooms can be depressing.

several of us saw the bad reviews + it's just not true. i was there for 4 days/3 nites. centrally located, right downtown, a few blox from everything. it IS loud when bars close, but pretty dead until morning traffic. it is 110 years old + a former 3-star euro style hotel. on the same floors it has 4-8 bunks (w/alcoves) AND single occupancy rooms. common area is nice, lacks in furniture though. the next to each other shower/sink + separate bathroom was charming. no elevator but wide stairwells.

If you're looking to stay in Central Denver for a decent price, then this really is the best option. It's a perfectly fine hostel and is great for a couple of nights, but don't be expecting anything amazing. The building itself is actually maintained to a very high standard as it used to be a hotel, it's certainly one of the cleanest hostels I've seen. The only negative is that there seems to be a lot of 'permanent residents' and not as many young travellers as you might normally expect.

Nice hostel, very close to the main st downtown, but in a not so nice area. It seemed to be filled with longterm locals/homeless.

Great location to downtown and great price, which is what I was going for. Had a mix up with the lockers and someone else got mine. Wifi also didn't work as expected, but there's a great coffee shop around the corner.

I was only staying for a night and needed somewhere to crash. The hostel was easy to find, and the walk wasn't difficult at all. There had been a double booking so I was upgraded to a single, private room over the dorm I had booked. For what I paid and for what I needed this hostel was PERFECT. Not much of an atmosphere though and breakfast wasn't provided in the morning. The room was clean and well looked after and the staff friendly and happy to help.

Didn't feel very safe. There were few sketchy people while i stayed there. Room too hot and not enough clean air. Stayed at a similar hostel for same price but got Tv, fridge and our own bathroom.

It was a nice hostel in a good location, however there was little to no atmosphere and I think I'd have been quite bored had I stayed there on my own for much longer. The address listed was also very confusing, all it needed to say it was on the corner of 11th and Broadway, I missed the place a few times in when I was arriving, as the big sign out front says hotel and in tiny writing hostel.

Nice place to stay. Clean room, big room. I read a few reviews complaining about the noise from the street. That's kinda true, but I don't mind a little buzz. Place looks cool and genuine. The building is over 100 years old, I heard, so nothing fancy like an elevator. Still, very good value for your money.

The location of the hostel is the best! It is a few minutes away from the famous 16th street mall in downtown Denver. In addition, for those who like to party, the hostel is very close to the best nightclubs and bars in Denver like Church, Vinyl, and many others. They are all less than 1 minute away from the hostel. Staying in a dorm in this hostel is very safe and secure, and the save no pains in maintaining the safety and the comfort of the guests. I would recommend this hostel to everybody!
